If my SIM card is old and borderline corrupt, can I copy all the info
from it now, before it's too late? I have MPT 4, and have all contacts
coppied but what of all the other info that's on the card? Thanks!

Depending on the phone, you may not have anything on there other than
contacts.

When the sim goes belly up, your provider will issue you a new SIM,
which by definition has a new, unique identifier. Because of this,
the carrier necessarily has to be involved. There's usually a very
nominal charge for this, if anything.

Ahhh OK that makes sense.... they need to control the SIM card to protect
themselves. Anyway looks like after finally swapping out the battery, then
the SIM, it's my phone that's dying afterall. Time for an upgrade.
